Some of the stories are based on historical events, while others are purely fictional. Many of the tales feature animals as central characters, such as the clever fox or the wise old camel. Others focus on human characters, such as the brave warrior or the cunning thief.The book is divided into three sections, each containing tales from a different region or period. The first section focuses on the Kalmouk people, who are a Mongolian ethnic group living in Russia. The second section features stories from Mongolia itself, while the third section includes tales from the Buryat people, who live in the region of Siberia.Throughout the book, Busk provides detailed notes and commentary on each story, offering insights into the cultural context and significance of the tales. She also includes an introduction that provides an overview of the Kalmouk and Mongolian cultures, as well as a bibliography for further reading.Overall, Kalmouk and Mongolian Traditional Tales is a fascinating and engaging collection of stories that offers readers a glimpse into the rich and diverse folklore of these ancient cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
